The Fiat 500e is cute, charming, and fairly refined for a small city car. Unfortunately, the 500e’s 149-mile range, lack of equipment, and base price of at least $32,000 make the 500e a terribly uncompetitive deal on paper. Still, there was some hope that Stellantis could use some clever accounting tricks (and possibly the $7,500 commercial lease tax credit) to make the 500e more palatable on some level. After all, the 500e isn’t bad, if the price was right it could find a surprising amount of happy and willing owners.
